Question

I am using anaconda as below:

    active env location : C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\ANACON         


        

Answer 1

Recommend to upgrade conda latest version.

conda install --quiet --yes conda=4.7.11 
python -m pip install --upgrade pip==19.2.2

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem and I couldn't find a solution, but I did find a workaround. If you create an env and activate that env and then do the install, it seems to work just fine. If you don't need a lot of libraries I would try that.

Commands are:

1. Create env

conda create --name myenv

2. Activate the env

conda activate myenv

Answer 3

I started running in to this problem when one package suggested following modifications before installation

conda config --set channel_priority true

so I just reverted it and voila error's gone

conda config --set channel_priority false

Answer 4

Create a new environment if your are not superuser, after that activate environment to install packages

Answer 5

https://stackoverflow.com/a/61117831/7802476 helped me. Creating a new environment using the accepted answer didn't get my jupyter notebook to recognize the installed opencv. I could only import cv2 when I was in the environment on my terminal.

The fix was to use pip instead of conda, pip install opencv-python

Answer 6

I run into same problem while installing geopandas. The issue was gone after I upgraded to a newer version of Anaconda using:

conda update --prefix C:\apps\anaconda3 anaconda

Note: you'll have to modify the path C:\apps\anaconda3 pointing to your own installation directory.

Strangely, I did download Anaconda from the official homepage just a few hours ago and thought I had the newest version...
